SPECIAL NOTE:

The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components

will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we
strongly recommend that you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter

transmission. On most models, the rear of the engine and

transmission are supported by a crossmember bolted to the

frame, and then to the transmission with a cushion between

the crossmember and the transmission. It is essential that the

rear of the engine be properly supported before proceeding.

11.

When you are certain that the rear of the engine is firmly supported,

remove the bolts in the crossmember and take it off.

12.

Place a transmission jack under the transmission and secure it

firmly to the transmission.

CAUTION: Failure to secure the

transmission to the jack, could result in serious bodily injury.

13.

When the jack has been securely fastened to the transmission,

remove the four bolts holding the transmission to the bellhousing.

14.

Remove the transmission. This is an excellent opportunity to check

the condition of the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing,
and pilot bearing. Replace worn parts if necessary.

15.

Clean the transmission input shaft thoroughly. Measure the opening

in the bellhousing carefully, and then the outside diameter of the
bearing retainer on the Ranger Overdrive. SEE THE ILLUSTRA-
TIONS marked "A".

If the bearing retainer size is smaller or

larger then the opening in the bellhousing, please contact us

toll free at 1-800-350-2223.

Both bearing retainers must fit snugly

for proper alignment of the transmission to the Ranger, and the
Ranger to the bellhousing.

16.

Remove the front bearing retainer on the original transmission

carefully so as not to tear the gasket. Also, check the oil seal in the
base of the retainer and replace it if necessary. (The oil seal is not
supplied in the Ranger kit. The snout of the retainer must be cut off
and the seal must be retained. The normal cutoff location is .750".
However, we have had a customers require a longer length to retain
the stock seal. Make sure you cut enough off so that the snout does
not bottom out in the back of the Ranger.

Reinstall the retainer on the original transmission using the original

gasket and bolts (without lock washers). Lock washers will raise the
bolt head heights enough to cause severe damage and interference.
We recommend that you use "BLUE LOCTITE" for the bolts in place
of lock washers.

On Land Cruiser 4 speed installations, the Ranger uses the trans-

mission front bearing for alignment. This step, as mentioned above,
is not necessary. Simply remove the front retainer and clean the front
of the transmission. On Land Cruiser 3 speed transmissions, our
bearing retainer

should be

used. The snout on this retainer must be shortened as list above.
